America 1919-Chapter 911 - 311, if you want me to betray Donnie, you’ll have to pay more_2

Leo Rothschild said with concern.

Neddy Rothschild waved his hand with a smile and said: "The reason why I didn’t stop Anthony’s actions before was, first, because even if I stopped him, Anthony would still act. Second, I hoped this matter would make Donnie lower his guard, so we could make our move more effectively!"

Neddy Rothschild’s words left the other three people in the room momentarily stunned.

"Neddy, have you thought of a way?"

Alfred Rothschild asked excitedly.

At this time, the Rothschild family was in a precarious period. The defeat of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire caused significant problems for their investments in both countries. In a different era,

they wouldn’t even need to worry about Donnie. They could mobilize far more resources to deal with him.

But unfortunately, most of the family’s resources were currently directed toward dealing with the super speculators out there.

This gave Donnie the chance to exploit a loophole!

"Donnie’s private liquor business in Europe, although spread across several countries, is most prominent in the United Kingdom. Previously, Anthony targeted Donnie’s fleet for this reason, but the uncertainties of the sea made it unreliable.

The waters aren’t our territory, after all.

In fact, if we want to impact Donnie in this matter, we don’t need to go out of our way. All we need to do is gain control of his liquor suppliers in the United Kingdom to achieve the effect Anthony hoped for!"

Anthony Rothschild immediately thought of someone: "You’re talking about Gilbert Thomas?"

Neddy Rothschild nodded and said: "Exactly, that’s the man. A mere ex-soldier who, in just a few years, became a prominent figure in Birmingham, all thanks to Donnie’s private liquor business.

I’ve heard that this man is recently planning to acquire shares in Birmingham’s steelworks, which shows his commercial foresight. I believe someone like him wouldn’t reject an olive branch offered by the Rothschild family!"

Perhaps having spoken too much, Neddy Rothschild began to cough violently after finishing his words.

The three immediately prepared to call for a doctor.

Neddy Rothschild waved them off and said, his eyes bloodshot after the fit: "No need, I know my own condition. I’ve already prepared myself to meet God!"

At these words, Neddy Rothschild looked at the three of them: "After I meet God, you must take good care of our family’s businesses. Even though we appear strong and powerful now, and some even call us the Sixth Great Empire of Europe, we all know there are many eyes staring at us from the outside.

The strength of the Rothschild family lies in our unity. As long as we remain united, we need fear no one."

The three nodded, understanding Neddy Rothschild’s intentions.

"I’ve already sent someone to contact Gilbert Thomas. However, since he isn’t one of us from the Rothschild family, I’m worried he might harbor suspicions. Leo, once our people return, I want you to represent the Rothschild family and meet him in person..."

.

Gilbert Thomas felt that Donnie must be prescient.

He had only been away from Birmingham for two days when the Rothschild family came looking for him.

But Gilbert Thomas followed Donnie’s instructions: if the visitors’ surnames weren’t Rothschild, he was not to agree to any of their terms!

"I wonder, though, will the Rothschilds show up themselves?"

Gilbert Thomas sat in his chair, lost in thought.

He trusted Donnie’s judgment that the Rothschild family would surely come, but until they did, Gilbert Thomas couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Soon, things evolved regarding Gilbert Thomas.

One of Gilbert Thomas’s subordinates arrived at his office.

"Boss, those people who previously agreed to sell us their shares just called—all of them have refused to cooperate!"

Gilbert Thomas stood up. He knew this must be the work of the Rothschild family.

But he hadn’t expected the Rothschilds to act so ruthlessly.

They had made those people outright refuse to work with him.

Bear in mind, to get these people to agree to his terms initially, Gilbert Thomas hadn’t been shy about using threats.

Those people had been practically scared out of their wits by him, yet now they dared to break off the deal.

"Get Jimmy to take some men and pay them a proper visit. I want to see whether they fear the Rothschilds or us more!"

Gilbert Thomas said angrily.

Even though he knew the Rothschild family was behind this, he was still enraged by their rejection.

However, the subordinate standing before him didn’t immediately act on his orders.

"What is it?" Gilbert Thomas asked, displeased.

"Boss, there’s more. Jimmy and the core members of our Razor Party were all taken away by the police today!"

"What?!"

Gilbert Thomas looked as though he had just heard a tall tale.

The Razor Party’s dominance in Birmingham relied heavily on their connections with the police, whom they paid several tens of thousands of British Pounds in benefits every year.
